Health care down throat jamming

"We just left [a member of Congress'] office and while we were waiting, their phones were going crazy demanding" support for health care and to sign on to the Bennet letter committing to voting for reconciliation. The Bennet effort is to give Pelosi air cover for the House vote.... Get everyone you can to call or fax or email."

The "Bennet letter" refers to a letter from Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado which urges Majority Leader Reid to use budget reconciliation to pass ObamaCare with Public Option. You'll recall Public Option is where the government will phase out private insurance and private choice.

In other words, the Bennet letter is designed to send a message to House Democrats that the House version of the bill with the public option will be included in the final (real) ObamaCare bill using reconciliation.

Reports indicate the Bennet Letter has 33 signers!

Mr Obama is spending millions of your tax dollars through front organizations like ACORN and captive union bosses to swamp the Congress with these phony phone calls. Once again, we muster into the breach. Contact your Senators and Representatives.

What should turn everyone against government controlled health care is the mountain of debt. "Only" $900 billion is added every year during the current plan's operation. (Mr Obama claims no new debt, but politicians are notorious liars). Here's a news item that could be about the USA's sovereign debt in only a few years. The article is about Greece.

The always fresh Constitution

You hear politicians saying we need to change with the times. They say the US Constitution was for a time when America was a new nation. They say the Constitution must be read as a "living document," so that parts may be discarded because they get in the way of government control.

Why? Who requires that our nation no longer act like it is young? Our national need for fresh perspective should not change, so our Constitution is ideal as it is and has been for centuries. It always leads us down the fresh path.

Liberty

Freedom is matter of individual rights. Individuals are society's elements, therefore individuals naturally bear the burden of society.That means individuals have the right to use their lives, liberties, and properties as they see fit, as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others.

In the context of the modern state, this philosophy engenders a set of normative policy prescriptions that reflect a belief in the efficiency and morality of unhampered markets, the system of private property, and individual rights -- and a deep distrust of taxation, forced egalitarianism (which is always applied by elitists), compulsory welfare, and the power of the state, which is always the power of the "ruling class."
